I'm not sure if I should start adding corals/frags since my tank is only a 2 to 3 months old or if I should wait until the 6 month mark when the tank is a little bit more established.

60g tank with skimmer
40 lbs dry rock 20lb live rock
I have green and purple caroline algea
live sand.
fish
2 green chromus
2 clown fish
1 shrimp don't remember what it's called
and 2 emerald crabs
and 8 snails all coral friendly

KH/alk - 7.8
Magnesium - 1470 if I'm reading the test correctly
calcium - 440
PH - 7.8 this might be a little low for corals?

and then last one is PO4 - I tested it and It looks like it hasn't changed color at all. but I could be wrong. Using salifert test PO4 test. The 0 and 0.03 is to close in color to tell for me. will have to invest in hanna po4 test

ammonia 0
nitrite 0
and nitrate 10ppm

any advice on this would be appreciated.
 
Softies should be no problem. Maybe even some lps but I'd stay away from sps for up to a year until it's very well established
